As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.

Also no on renaming New Mexico.

    Next month:

    • Texas -> Roof Tiles
    • El Paso -> The Pass
    • The Alamo -> The Poplar
    • Santa Fe -> Holy Faith
    • Nevada -> Snowed
    • Colorado -> Red
    • Palo Alto -> High Stick
    • Nogales -> Walnuts
    • Los Angeles -> The Angels
    • …

    Paper companies would make a killing profit this period.
